Hi there,
I am in the Bay area (East San Jose to be exact) and I have been feeding feral cats in the neighborhood for a few months now. I will be moving out soon but I was hoping to trap and neuter these cats and possibly adopt them out if possible. I have been calling the humane society and other animal care centers nearby but all of them are swamped and unwilling to help if it involves adult feral cats. Should I try to trap them myself and socialize them as much as possible before I leave? I am no animal care expert so I am very hesitant to do this but I really don't want to abandon them and just hope for the best. I really don't want to cause unnecessary stress to the animals either so I am starting to lose hope all of this will lead to a happy ending...
